AT&T has released a new Samsung cellphone called SGH-A737. The most impressive specification is the support for microSD memory cards up to 4GB, while the less sensational feature being the 1.3-megapixel camera. Taking in consideration this is a 3G phone, you’ll be able to use various AT&T services, like Video Share, Mobile Music, XM Radio, eMusic Mobile, and IM support for AOL, Yahoo and Windows Live. The Samsung SGH-A737 is valued at $100 after a $50 rebate, and is available in 4 versions that only differ in color – red, lime, orange and blue. Read more »

While most of the audio systems currently available on the market don’t offer the possibility to connect to the internet, the MusicPal is here to mark the difference. Besides being able to play internet radio, MusicPal can show RSS feeds on its display screen. On top of those 2 most important features, you can stream MP3 (or WAV) files from your computer thanks to the support of a WLAN connection, and simply use the MusicPal to listen to the songs via the built-in speaker. Other features include an alarm clock, and a line-out jack so you can use headphones or more powerful speakers than the one that comes with the Read more »

BestBuy – one of the biggest electronic retail stores on the US, and Mydeo – a video hosting website, worked together to create a video sharing/hosting website for BestBuy. Why will people use their system instead of YouTube or other similar sites that can store/share video content? According tho the VP of BestBuy, this video service will offer privacy (duh) and won’t have with ads, unlike what happens with 99% of the other cases. As you can imagine, this service won’t be available for free. A subscription method is being used with a base plan that costs $7 per month and lets users upload 100 minutes of video content, with Read more »

Lenovo is preparing itself for the upcoming Christmas scene and has released a new desktop computer codenamed K100. The system doesn’t include a LCD monitor as you can see on the image, so the prices that can go from $590 to $1,130 are appropriate. The top notch model is obviously the most expensive one ($1,130) and the high price is caused by the quad core processor, this one is available at Office Depot and comes with a TV Tuner and OBB (one-touch back-up button). The other models, $590 and $790, feature a dual core processor and can be bought at Micro Center. Highlights seem to include a dial for balancing Read more »

After a couple of weeks of receiving some unusual comments at ForeverGeek, I took it upon myself and decided to clean the house. Here are the lessons and other misc details that I learned from performing the hard task: sploggers are using “new” techniques to have trackbacks (read links) from original content (read specific posts). Most of the times, their post starts like this: “someone” wrote an interesting/fantastic post today, here’s a quick excerpt And it ends with a copy/paste + link of our original article. Obviously, the sploggers in question are using some kind of RSS software that can track keywords and copy the content, because only particular posts Read more »

Apple’s big cat has finally leaped to the shelves of many computer stores, even the ones on my small secluded island. And since Vista’s “wow” is starting to fade quickly, despite the availability of the first Service Pack over file-sharing networks, one might want to try installing Leopard on his PC. DailyApps has just posted a 3 step tutorial (ok, it’s not actually 3 steps, more like 3 “categories” of steps) that should make it easy for even the less tech-savvy to install Apple’s latest version of Mac OS X on their home computers. Obviously it won’t work as well as it would on a Mac, and it’s not officially Read more »

If you’re a Powerbook owner but feel enticed by the latest Mac OS X’s features, then you’re probably wandering how well it would run. Thankfully, one of the Gizmodo editors installed it on his 1Ghz Powerbook with 768MB of RAM. Here’s what he had to say: Basic use: Using Coverflow with Safari, iChat, and iTunes open and it’s choppy. (Quick Look works well, though.) That’s not bad at all, but of course we have to wait for more exhaustive testing to draw any real conclusions. I’d say you’re safe if you’ve got an older mac. RAM will help, but if you’re counting the iLife and Leopard costs, you might just Read more »
